I have made a resume but I am not sure if it's a bad, good, or great resume.

I have a header with my name, phone number, address, and date of birth.
I have an objective which is one sentence.
I have skills which I listed 12 skills in a chart and I deleted the borders and centered everything.
I have my education.
I have my experience which I listed my last 3 jobs starting with my most current.
I have my volunteer experience which I listed the types of mission work I did with my church over the years.
Lastly, I have 'References available upon request'
Everything looks very organized.

What else should I put into my resume?
Any tips on making a resume great?
Do I need to omit any information?

Thanks!

You shouldn't put your date of birth on, because people can discriminate against you because of your age. Of course, it is pretty obvious when people read when you were at school, but putting it in your header makes them see it first, and whatever else they see they will disregard.

There are thousands of websites regarding how to make the perfect resume. Most give you free templates. It's best to just search for "resume template" and check a few out to help you.

Good luck :)
